add thereto five pounds of sulfur and mix it, then in a closed caldron raise it by heat to a temperature of 250 Fahrenheit and continue this heat for three hours. Then add three pounds of peroxid of manganese (MnO and continue the application of heat, keeping the mixture at a temperature approximately hclgf s product must be thinned with a proper vehicle, as turpentine, benzin, or equivalent material, to put it in suitable condition for use as a paint.

What I claim as my invention is 1. A composition for paint, consisting of shale-oil, sulfur, and pcroxid of manganese, as herein described.
